========================== Introduction Interpolation ========================== Given a set of points it often is useful to find the values in between, or create a curve that joins the points sequentially. Interpolation does not require that the underlying function is found, in fact there may be no known mathematical equation to describe the process. The starting method is simply joining the points with a straight line, provided the points are already near enough in a straight line this may suffice. As the intervals become smaller this becomes a better approximation.
